## What it is
Milligram is a minimalist CSS framework providing a small set of base styles for typography, buttons, forms, tables, and grids in only 2kb gzipped. It is designed as a clean starting point for fast websites rather than a full UI component framework.

## Use cases
- style a simple website with minimal css
- lightweight css framework for fast page loads
- starting point for a clean landing page
- minimal grid and form styling without a heavy ui framework
- boilerplate styles for a static site
- small css reset and typography baseline

## When to choose
- you want a tiny (~2kb gzipped) stylesheet instead of a large ui framework
- you need clean default typography, buttons, forms, and a flexbox grid
- performance and minimal css reset matter more than rich components

## When to avoid
- you need a full component library with modals, dropdowns, and theming
- you require extensive utility classes like tailwind provides
- you need active development or frequent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: css-framework, ui-components, templating
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: minimalist, flexbox, 2kb, css-reset, boilerplate, html, web-server
